papers of the Missouri Valley and the
Southwest was held here to-day for the

convention from nearly every daily
newspaper between the Mississippi
River and the Rocky Mountains.
After discussion series of resolutions
was unanimously adopted as follows:
Whereas, We recognize in the rail-
roads the realization of the highest &C
cOmplishments of the progressive spirit
of the age, being closely allied to the
interests Of the people and the greatest
assistant yet devised for the rapid ex-
tension of the American desert and the
agency by which the development of
the West Is in great measure to be
brought about, and
Whereas, The Interstate Commerce
Bill has been made the law of the land
governing the management of such of
these roads as traverse these states
deriving their franchise chiefly from
state laws necessarily diverse in their
operation, be it
Resolved. That we cheerfully &C
quieSce in the new order of things and
set Tesolutely to the work of adapting
our business to the new situation
ready to discard the abuses and in
capabilities which have grown up in
past years in dealing with these roads.
That we wish to stand in the same
relation to them and have them placed
in the same attitude towards the press
of the country as all other lines of
business stand related to each other.
Resolved. That to accomplish the
| foregoing results, the press and the
railroads treat each other as nationally
conducted business entities; that fol-
freight and passenger transportation
the railroads charge newspaper meI
the same as other individuals are
charged, and the newspapers i'll like
manner deal with railroads as theiI
business customers, neither more mol
less.
Resolved, That all business between
these two be on cash basis, or its
equivalent, or that time tables, notices
of business character, or any Other
form of advertising should be charged
| for by publishers and no exchange upoI
the courtesy plan be continued; that
each publisher fix his own rates for his
space and accept therefor only sucl
compensation as will be available fol
use in the conduct of business by pro
| prietor or employees; that acceptance
of contracts which would produce any
other result should be discountenanced

met at the depot by his sons, Walker

breakfasted. Mr.. Walker Blaine said

NIIchignn LIquOr Laws.

LANSING, Mich, April 2O.-The Re-
publican caucus met last night, but adj
journed because the proposed High
License Local Option bill was not
ready for consideration. Many promi-
nent Republicans have stayed away
from both caucuses, and refuse TO be
bound by any action that will be taken
thereon. The Wayne county members
are opposed to high license and local
option under any circumstances. The
Republican Prohibitionists will not
support what they term halfway
measure. The truth is the Republican
majority is so large that binding eau
Gus action upon any subject of legisla-
tion is impossible. When the liquor
question gets before the Legislature,
there is no doubt but that discussion
will be free and full, but what laws will
result cannot now be foretold. 1t is
said that all the liquor laws will be put
together in one bill, and that the pres
ent multitude of laws will be repealed.

CHICAGO, April GA special from
Tampa, Florida, says: Last month the
Norwegian bark BraZalerias went
ashore OFF CoZumel, Mexico. At the
instance of the New York underwriters
the schooner Nellie Blanche, A. Rus
sell, master, sailed to the scene of the
wreck. She found that the bark's car
go had been taken ashore, the vessel
stripped and everything either sold
or conHscated by the Mexican au-
thorities. Inquiries also developed
the fact that the BraZaleria's crew
were held as prisoners, but on what
grounds could not be learned. On April
4th the Mexican customs officer boarded
the Blanche and examined her as
though she was a filibuster, took her
marine documents ashore and later he
returned with the information that the
Blanche could not clear from CoZumel
for Key West. but must go to Progreso
or Murjeres, 240 miles further south.
Captain Russell protested against being
compelled to take his vessel so far out
of the way, but offered to go in person
either to Progreso or Murjeres. The
Mexican insisted that the Blanche
should make the trip and placed a Gus
toms inspector on board to take her tC
Progreso. The captain claims that the
crew refused to sail the Blanche t
Progreso, and yesterday brought her Il
Key West on their own authority, tn,
Mexican inspector being also forced K
make the trip.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2l.-Fan Fo-
ley, negress, was arrested by officers
Murray and Kelley yesterday morning
on charge of grand larceny. The pre-
vious afternoon she visited the house
of Mrs. Jane Malone, and while APP
parently on social call, she appeared
very friendly, asked Mrs. Malone if she
would like toddy to refresh her, and
upon receiving a reply in the affirma-
tive, produced bottle and prepared
the drink. Mrs. Malone drank it of,
Suspecting no harm. Soon, however,
she grew drowsy from the effects of
some powerful drug that the Foley
woman had mixed in her cup, and fell
into profound sleep. Her visitor
then went out on the street and hailed
the first passing wagon. She got the
unsuspecting driver to help her, and to-
gether they literally rihed the house,
loading the wagon with almost every
thing Il contained worth carrying OFF.
The goods Fan Foley claimed were her
own, and the outfit was driven down on
Maple street to her room.

ST. LOUIS, April 2I.-A dispatch
from the City Of Mexico gives an &C
count of a most fendish and bloody
affair committed in the little city of
Patzcuaro last Wednesday night. The
young wife of Juan RamiereZ was the
acknowledged beauty of the town and
"A great favorite there. Three police
men entered into plot to outrage her,
and on the night mentioned went to
the house of RamiereZ, entered his bed
room and fairly butchered him with
knives, infiicting twenty gaping wounds
upon his body, the squirting blood
deluged the wife as she lay beside her
husband and she tainted. After Ra-
mierez was dead the fiends restored the
wife to consciousness and then carried
out their hellish plot. They left the
poor woman almost dead. The men
fled to the country on horseback, but
Two OF them have been captured and
the other one will be, as the whole re-
gion is aroused and intense excitement
prevails among the people.
